Calm Before the Bing Storm: May 2009 comScore Ranking Remain Steady
Not a whole lot changed from April to May 2009 in terms of core search share, but it will shock no one that Google still saw the biggest benefit. Overall there was a 3% decline in searches, and perhaps Memorial Day weekend had people partying instead of searching.
The biggest change, albeit still a small one, was Google upping its search share by 0.8%.
When looking at expanded searches, everyone takes a hit - except for YouTube, which saw a sweet 4% increase month over month.

The real story here is not whether or not Google is affected by Bing's success, but rather that both Ask and especially Yahoo saw declines in their shares as Bing's has increased. More at http://domusinc.blogspot.com/2009/06/ppc-marketing-bing-gains-yahoo-loses.html.

That youtube stat is interesting because I just had my 16 yr old nephew in town and he uses Youtube for everything. Music, TV, dangerous experiments, and answers to questions. I was suprised.
